Registration Costs?

Just curious what some of you other folks are paying.

I just renewed my bike registration. $65 plus a $2 "convenience fee" of using the internet. Shouldn't they be discounting my registration by $2 for not tying up a person at a window of the motor vehicle commission? Sons of bitches...

$65 seems a little steep for a bike, especially considering some of the tolls we have in state (NJ Turnpike, Garden State Parkway, Port Authority of NY and NJ).

I think I pay $46+/- for each car (2), and $86 for my truck. My boat is $32, and then they whack me for another $28 for the trailer.

 

Jeebus dude.....quite your bitchin'! That is pennies compared to what we pay for cars (and a lot of bikes) in CA. Do you expect a BJ from a hot girl for the privilege of having you drive your car on the roads of the state of NJ? :rofl:

 

Seems reasonable; but it will vary significantly depending on your location. I just paid $85 to register my VFR; but then I have no toll roads within a 100 miles. '98 Audi is about the same, '07 Mariner is more, other bikes are in the same ballpark. My utility trailer is 10 bucks every two years.

 

As a matter of fact, yes. I DO expect a BJ from a hot girl!

And besides, you have residences in LA AND UTAH?? You're rolling in it, kid! lol

Seriously though, not bitchin. Just wondering what folks pay. I only pointed out my cars/boat, because I find it interesting that NJ charges more for a motorcycle, versus say my boat/trailer, which is 26 feet from the prop to the hitch on the trailer.

@ Footyhill - See, $85 seems reasonable to me considering what you said - no tolls within 100 miles or so.

 

I know someone with a 2001 VFR and they paid $95 or so this year in CA. Have not paid mine yet, but I think it is gonna be around 100 or so. Cars/Trucks less than 5 years old are most times always in the high 180 to 250+ range in CA. Depends on value of the car.

Sounds like you have a steal out there in NJ!

 

I just plated my bike last week for just under 40.00 her in Indiana.

 

I think I paid 400.00 plus when I first registered my bike In Cali... (the 86) that was splitting the back fee's which I don't really think I should have had to pay but that is a different story).... then I have paid 75 bucks a year for it since. it is not registered in new york yet (still in peices).. but it shouldn't be more than 60 bucks

 

It was $90 to renew my 2000.

Renewal fees in Ogeron: $43.00/2yrs. One exception is one county that adds a fee. Keeps the politicians well fed.

 

Oh lordy you yanks have it so easy...!!! Nearly $700/year for a bike over 600cc in Victoria, Australia...

Edit: just so i don't ruffle any feathers - "yanks" is postured in a very affectionate manner :love:

 

So does the government supply vaseline along with the yearly fee? Caviar on the barbie for the politicos?

 

New York State is the land of taxes, but the motorcycle registration fee is pretty cheap. I have all 4 of my bikes registered and the cost of that with custom plates for each bike is only $157.50 a year. Without the custom plates, it would be under $100. I can't complain.

 

No Offence Taken even if you hadn't made an Edit, Any "Yank" that takes Offence to the term is an Idiot in my book !

 

Nope, we still get the pleasure of paying tolls too...!!!

 

Good to know... :biggrin: Being rather new, I figured I'd err on the side of caution...

 

I rather get me another bike if I would you.......$400 for 86 lol

 

I rather get me another bike if I would you.......$400 for 86 lol

 

it5 was originally 800 in back fees and fines... so I cut a deal with the DMV.. they ate half the bill and I ate half the bill...

 

$45 a year or so up here in Ontario.

 

$28 in MA:tongue:
